New York Comic Con highlights Marvel's 2027 plans

From 7 to 11 October, the New York Comic Con took place at the Javits Center in New York, showcasing comics, cinema, anime, video games, and cosplay. Marvel used this event to preview several comics set to launch in early 2027, including new series and ongoing storylines.

Magneto returns with a new mini-series

Marvel’s "House of Ideas" panel focused on 2027, with one of the main announcements being Magneto: End of Days. Brian Michael Bendis, returning to Marvel after working at DC Comics, will write the eight-issue mini-series, which will debut on 3 February 2027. Andrea Sorrentino will provide the art, and Dave Stewart will handle the colors.

Hulk faces a new threat in a new series

Another major announcement was Hulk War: Infernal Rage, set to begin in February 2027. This five-issue series continues the Hulk saga developed since 2023 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein. In this story, Hulk is under the influence of the Eldest, an ancient entity, and becomes the Infernal Hulk, threatening the Marvel universe.

X-Men and Avengers get new developments

The X-Orcists series by Ashley Allen and German Peralta will shift from a fixed mini-series format to an ongoing series. The third issue, scheduled for January 2027, will introduce Elsa Bloodstone, a monster hunter from the Marvel universe. The Avengers will also see a special issue, Immortal Soldiers #1, drawn by Christian Rosado and set in the aftermath of Avengers: Armageddon.

Marvel reissues a classic anthology

Marvel announced the reissue of What The?!, a parodic anthology published between 1988 and 1993. A new special issue will be released in January, featuring artists and writers like Ryan Stegman, Annie Wu, and Manix. The solicitation humorously credits a "Not Chip Zdarsky" among the contributors.

Star Wars and Marvel unite for a new crossover

Marvel and Lucasfilm are collaborating on Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, written by Kevin Smith and drawn by David Marquez. Initially planned as a five-issue series, it will now have six issues, with the first expected in January 2027. The story will be part of the official Star Wars continuity, not a separate storyline. The first pages and new covers, including one by Alex Ross featuring Spider-Man and Luke Skywalker, were revealed at the panel.
